Pleavin Petroleum | 24/7 Emergency Fuel Services

At Pleavin Petroleum, we supply customers of all kinds in all areas of the country with gas oil, otherwise known as red diesel, with a guaranteed fast and reliable service.

Gas oil is one of the most used fuel types in the world and is incredibly common to be found in many different types of businesses.

However, there has been some change in recent years with the 2021 budget issued by the chancellor at the time which changed the eligibility of gas oil/red diesel in most businesses to aim for a more sustainable future.

According to this, you will know if your business is eligible to continue using red diesel and will therefore be able to enlist our services to have this fuel delivered to you.

What is Red Diesel/Gas Oil?

Red diesel is an alternative name for gas oil which is primarily used in machinery that is not used for everyday travel such as road-going vehicles like cars and trucks.

Traditionally, red diesel has been taxed lower than its counterpart white diesel however is not available for purchase in service stations up and down the country.

While red diesel is illegal for use on the roads, it is perfect for use elsewhere and is perfectly legal for all kinds of other uses in other types of machinery.

This kind of oil tends to be used for generating electricity for either your home or working environment.

Regulations For Gas Oil

As we have mentioned briefly above, regulations have stated that red diesel is not legal for use in legal road vehicles making the sale of red diesel illegal in service stations across the country.

Furthermore, in his 2021 budget speech, the former chancellor Rishi Sunak stated that industries that use gas oil would be forced to make the switch to sustainable alternatives.

Despite this rather worrying news, there are still plenty of industries in which gas oil remains to be a mainstay that our specialists are experts in providing.

If you do happen to fall under the category of needing to change, our team are more than happy to help you through the process and give you some of our recommendations on what fuels will be best for you to convert to in the long term.

What Businesses Can Use Gas Oil?

With all of this said, what businesses can actually continue to use gas oil long term? Which businesses will still be able to use red diesel for the years after the ban on them being used in road-legal vehicles?

Red diesel will still be legal for use by: railway transport businesses; amateur golf courses and sports clubs; boating/sailing clubs; fairs and circuses; agriculture/farming facilities and can also be used for non-commercial uses at home such as generators for electricity and heating.

This shows that there is still a vast market for people to continue needing to produce and purchase gas oil in the masses despite the major ban being put into place in the coming years.

At Pleavin Petroleum, we are dedicated to ensuring that we deliver gas oil to wherever is necessary in the best possible way, ensuring that you receive the best delivery on the market in a fast and efficient manner.
